Patron

The Patron is a massive magical golem and the primary objective of a Deadlock match. A Patron is located in the base of both teams. Whichever team kills the opponent's Patron first obtains victory. Patrons deal significant damage to enemy forces in its range. They are spherical with a golden mask-like face and they magically levitate above the ground. The Patron can offer "boons" to their team, empowering them in battle.

A Patron looming over humans

The Patron has two shrines located next to it. After those shrines are defeated there are two phases. After one team diminishes the HP of phase one the Patron takes a moment to transform and move into the pit of the teams base and is weakened. In this weakened state the patron has an effect similar to Torment Pulse and damages Troopers and Heroes around it.

Lore

According to the lore, Patrons are magical entities who petition players to participate in battles, called Rituals.
